Christina Simon: Los Angeles, California, United States
I'm the mom of a daughter (15) and a son (12) who attend Viewpoint School in Calabasas. I live in Coldwater Canyon with my family and a rescue pit bull, Cocoa. Contact me at csimon2007@gmail.com

I would love to win this book. My friend just moved to the L.A. area from San Francisco and will begin the process of applying for schools this year! This would be a great big help to her.I am in O.C. so I'm not too much of a help, but your blog has been invaluable!mhuckeba77@hotmail.com

I would use this book to start the process of determining what is the best next step for my child after pre-school. Just because the tuition is the most, does that really mean that that the school is the best? We really need some help and guidance!

Your book would be a great help as I navigate the school choices for my three preschoolers! We are trying to determine the best fit for our twins and their little brother- all of whom will be entering elementary school in the next two years.

Thank you for sharing this kind of information and advice. School is the hot topic in our mommy & me groups and our little one's music classes and playgroups. We all feel a little clueless and would love to read your book.

My son has special needs. Whilst we are lucky to live in a good school district, the reduced budget and increased class sizes leaves him without an aide for support and with class sizes that would, on a sensory level, affect his ability to access the education being offered. He has also been assessed to be highly intelligent and needs an environment that would cater to this. I'm not saying this to brag…just stating that this combination with his special needs, leaves me no choice but to source a private school. I know that in the right environment he will flourish and this book would be a great resource to see my options as at this point I have no other choice but to home school. I know there are schools that cater for children that are highly gifted yet need smaller class sizes and I'm hoping that I might find the right fit for my son in this book. Thank you for putting together a great resource for parents.
